Explanation:

1-bcoz the carrot and all plants contain tissues 1st is xylem and 2nd is phloem .Xylem tissue helps in transport of water in all parts of the plant so when the carrot is kept in the water xylem trasported water in the carrot due to which the center part turned red. (phloem transports food and minerals sometimes water also)

2- Xylem Tissue

3- (not sure)The carrot still maybe turn center red bcoz the work of transporting water is of xylem tissue
